Ex-project lead here. The most incredible part is buried in a 7 hour long video. Last night they also unwrapped 140 columns of new text in the PHerc. Paris. 4 scroll: https://x.com/JanPaul123/status/207030476927372

Kilo Code CEO here. We’d like to welcome ex-Windsurf users by offering you $100 in credits. :D We'd love to show how through open source there is a better way (better community, more transparent pricing, won't mess with your or th

At Kilo we're already seeing lots of people trying it out. It's looking very good so far. Gemini 2.5 Pro had been taking over from Claude 3.7 Sonnet, but it looks like there's a new king. The bigger question is how often it&#

Seeing the $ every time I do something, even if it's $0.50, can be a little stressful. We should have an option to hide it per-request and just show a progress bar for the current topup.

Yeah, my colleague just wrote about this exact problem of incentive misalignment with Cursor and Windsurf https://blog.kilocode.ai/p/why-cursors-flat-fee-pricing-will The economist in me is says "just show the pri

I agree, this would be good to have soon, especially as good models keep getting smaller, and hardware keeps getting cheaper.

by janpaul123 1y ago
100% agreed on both points. Point 1 relates to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43486526 as well. It's one of the biggest challenges, though maybe it'll automatically get better through models with bigger cont

Thanks! That does look like a great tool.

At this point we plan to monetize enterprise features (LDAP login, things like that).

Still a small percentage! Let's get more of this happening.

by janpaul123 1y ago
Good point! In that sense we're similar to most AI coding agents in that the languages we do well are the languages the mainstream LLMs do well. We might zoom in and add really good support for particular languages though (not decided

In roughly the last 2 weeks, yes. It helped that everyone involved also activated their network, so we got a multiplicative effect. Can't speak to funding for now unfortunately.

by janpaul123 1y ago
Yeah, this is a great workflow! What's more, agents are particularly good at writing tests, since they're simpler and mostly linear, so they can even help with that part. As to your point of automating retries, with my last protot

Yes! This is high on our list. Context window compression is a big deal, and this is one of the main ways to do it, IMO. Have you tried any tools that do this particularly well?
19.
by janpaul123 1y ago
Totally agree!

by janpaul123 1y ago
We’ll take all the features people love in other products, and implement them in a coherent package as quickly as we can.

JP here! Would love to answer your questions! We listed a bunch of ideas for larger improvements in the blog: Instant app; Up-to-date docs; Prompt/product-first workflows; Browser IDE; Local/on-prem models; Live collaboration; Par

Our backers have no interest in fake metrics. ;) It's a good way to quickly get feedback, which is key to our strategy. Totally fine to keep using Roo Code (or Cline) of course!

by janpaul123 1y ago
You're too kind!! The speedrun ethos has already been super fun with this team. :) I hope that we'll also be able to bring enough skills, strategy, and taste to the space. Time will tell, but we're giving it our best shot!

by janpaul123 2y ago
Completely agree. It's useful not just for targeting one specific language, but all the other APIs that we have, and things like RAG to search for importable modules on the platform. Duplicating all that across many platforms is a lot

Yes exactly. It generates code for Val Town, which hosts Typescript backends.
